"Between 1710 and 1770, the Rococo style should, in the normal course of events, have been Britain's prevailing decorative style, at once inventive, ornate, elegant and playful. This is the first book to describe and explain its oddly frustrated course in England and, in vivid contrast, its brilliant flourishing in Ireland. Architectural historians have tried to make the best of the Palladian Revival that occurred after 1714. But in fact Palladianism was a cultural disaster, a retrograde step imposed upon a chauvinistic ruling class which left England dependent for the internal decor of its aristocratic houses on memories of ruined Roman baths or the improvisations of itinerant Italo-Swiss stucco workers. England's eventual response to the decorative failings of Palladianism was the 'Gothick'. Ireland, more sophisticated in the technical education of its craftsmen and artists, not only devised its own subtle 'insular' Rococo, but exported this mode successfully to the West of England in a gesture of cultural colonialism."--Jacket.

Hardcover. Condición: As New. Estado de la sobrecubierta: As New. 1st Edition. "Among the illustrations to be found in this book are exotic, little-known Rococo interiors of the West Country and Wales, the riotous elegance which Dublin townhouses hide behind the tense minimalism of their facades, and some of those unexpectedly foreign interiors - Parisian, Italian or neurotically Celtic - of Eire's country houses. The dramatic, unhappily rare English Rococo suites of Hagley, Claydon, Saltram and the lost Nuthall Temple have their place, all essentially the achievements not of great architects but great craftsman.". …

This is t he first book to describe and explain its oddly frustrated course in England and , in vivid contrast, its brilliant flourishing in Ireland. The authors' controve rsial claim is that Ireland not only devised its own form of insular Rococo, b ut exported this mode successfully in a gesture of cultural colonialism to the W est of England. Their book shows that the Irish were, far more effectively than the English, participants in the European consensus of the Rococo period. …
